    New Garage foundation too low - HELP!

    My revised picture view increases the elevation of the building at least a foot with respect to the alley. I don't know where you are getting an 18" drop.

    New Garage foundation too low - HELP!

    I don't know if this makes sense, but to me it seems the issue is the building is set too far back from the "alley."

    Should I be concerned about dust collector?

    Add a cyclone or drop container to your system. Then only fine dust will accumulate on the bags, and the system will be "closed" within your shop environment.

    Recommendations on tankless NG water heater please

    - I don't think you can use tankless with the recycling pump - tankless is going to require an increase in your natural gas line piping size (most likely) https://www.rinnai.us/residential-product-finder

    What tools have you lost in the road?

    My office is in downtown Atlanta. Few years back when crossing the pedestrian crosswalk there was a 6 ft long metal bar almost 2" in diameter sitting right in the road at the intersection. I glanced up and down the bar and realized one end had a diamond core bit. I took it inside the office and...

    Septic tank questions

    I didn't read all the above posts - however, the septic system is designed to support a certain number of bedrooms (people) only. Doesn't matter the size of the tank - it's the number and length/size of the drain lines that matter. You need to find out the capacity of the installed system to...

    Can it be salvaged ?

    No one has asked yet so I will. What is the condition of the tank itself - was it drained frequently? It looks old enough to me to be a concern for safety.

    Surviving My Own Stupidity...

    Watco danish oil - at least the "old" original formula was infamous for the spontaneous combustion of used rags. I always lay out any rags used to apply stain or finishes across a metal rack (think cheap metal closet shelving) in order to the product to flash/cure, then through the rags away.

    ASTRO GIVEAWAY - 3 FREE Hand Rivet Nuts Tool Kits & New Flank-Bite Sets

    I installed the hardi-plank siding on my workshop build about two years ago - with the help of my then 85 year old neighbor! I bought a pair of Gecko clamps to use for the correct placement of the strips and they proved to be indispensable. The two clamps allowed us to quickly place the 12'...

    Getting a PVC joint apart to reglue?

    My plumber recommended trying to fix a leaking drain pipe junction in my basement by twisting the PVC glue swab/brush at the joint so that the glue would be forced into the seam. He said it couldn't hurt and sometimes works.
